    This entire thread is about that question.  The thread has been answered over & over.  Outlook will not send pictures etc. as attachments - it will only send them inline.  You must choose a different email account (e.g. Gmail) in order to send as attachment.

    Thank you, Jordi! 

    A temporary fix that works, but Microsoft needs to accept that this 'feature' is ridiculous! Thank you for helping me retain my sanity in the meantime.

    so was trying to figure out what was wrong with my phone today as this was happening to me for the first time, up to now I just select the pics I wanted and they came through as attachments. now its only working that way for single pictures and only after you close the app and then reopen it by sending the pic to the program from the gallery. when you select from gallery and attach it will attach the single file but when you select 2 or more or attach from the outlook program itself it adds the picture to the body of the mail which is ****. have been sending photo's through outlook for years on the phone now and have only had this issue today so from what I can tell its a bug and as usual they are ignoring it and probably blaming android which is **** as well.

    Hi,

    Yeah they don't give a crap, I've uninstalled outlook now because of this change  (not a bug) and I'm trying out BlueMail. So far so good.

    Kind Regards,

    Nic H

    It is a change everyone is facing and I've uninstalled outlook because of it. I'm trying BlueMail and it does what emails should by attaching and not in lining in the email. Bad move Microsoft.

    Kind Regards
